Catholics have a long history of healing in Christ, for instance, Fr. Francis McNutt,

“In the 37 years that MacNutt has claimed the gift of supernatural healing, he has seen people cured of everything from asthma, allergies and heart disease to high blood pressure, cancer and torn arches. He once prayed for a woman and then watched as her foot grew to its normal size, from size 5 to 7-1/2. In 1982 a woman’s brain tumor disappeared when he prayed—and after she returned home to South Carolina her doctor documented the miracle.

MacNutt’s methods are not always orthodox. Often he will stand in front of an audience and sing in an unknown language. He doesn’t know what he’s saying, and neither do the people in the crowd, but listeners are sometimes healed just by hearing the heavenly glossolalia...”

I was healed by the prayers and intercession of Blessed Teresa. The very large cancerous tumor is present on MRI, but at surgery, it was just about gone. Still had to be removed, but with no further treatment and no problems.

What we distrust, and rightly so, are poorly documented “healings.” One doctor, or set of tests proves nothing.

Another red flag is the cottage industry that this “healer” has created around his industry. His fees are pretty steep.

“I’d advise, however, being ready to answer His Master for any inaccurate assertions or bad-faith, evil motives in doing so.”

Yes, you should consider all you say. You will account. Nothing is hidden, not even the motivation deep within you that takes its form in derision, hatefilled sneering colorworked words hiding a self-righteous soul steeped in contempt.

Was going to comment how I’d long known of Bro McNutt’s ministry and greatly respected and supported it—have encouraged folks to seek it out, IIRC.

Instead, I’ll just thank you for the fiercely hostile personal assault.

Was it Father McNutt who left the church and married? One of the healing priests who was pretty famous during the Charismatic Movement did that. I remember Father McNutt. Interesting man and a true believer.
